हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: Kirchhoff's junction rule is based on the conservation of electric charge. Statement II: Kirchhoff's loop rule is based on the conservation of mechanical energy for conservative electric fields. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option A
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation
Junction rule is based on charge conservation (no charge accumulation), while loop rule stems from the potential nature of electrostatic fields (energy conservation around a closed path).
